3. The square miles and the number of states doesn't mean crap
Repukes live in the more sparsely populated Western States - those states went to McCrook. For states, it matters more how many electoral votes the states won have than the number of states - or the size of the landmass. Alaska is huge but has a sparse population and thus only 3 electoral votes.

Big red states will have counties with their biggest cities, most likely to have gone to the Democrats if any counties in the red states did. Crimes rates are higher in cities - more people crowded together. But it doesn't reflect on the party the way they are trying to claim it does.
